echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/23/2018 4:35 pm This is at the top of my list for Sasanian coins, but well out of my price range. The die cracks give it more character. Super coin, I'm jealous. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/23/2018 5:12 pm I collected Sass for a decade and got stomped every time I bid on one of these. A coin that deserves a rare designation. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/23/2018 6:33 pm Remarkable coin. Would one of the 'stars' in any collection of Sassanian coins. Why? 1. intersting and scarce type 2. nice condition 3. severe die break. This coin is now with the right owner. Report this Post to the Staff
